The traditional vehicular roll-jam attack is an effective means to gain access to the target vehicle by jamming and recording key fob inputs from a victim. However, it requires specific knowledge of the attack surface, and delicate tuning of software-defined radio parameters. We have developed an enhanced version of the roll-jam attack that uses a known noise signal for jamming, in contrast to the additive white Gaussian noise that is typically used in the attack. Using a known noise signal allows for less strict tuning of the software-defined radios used in the attack, and allows for digital noise removal of the recorded input to enhance the replay attack.
